[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tramp is not finding `ls` from a non-standard path added to
`tramp-remote-path`.

On further inspection `tramp-find-executable` is using `command -pv` which
only uses a pre-defined PATH and not the PATH env variable. I think
`command -v` should be used instead.

Indeed. I've fixed this in master, closing the bug.
